ومن أكبر الأسباب لاستقامة القلب وسلامته، كثرة قِراءة القُرآن.

"And what nonsense are you saying?" Hajiya Azeemah yelled in Arabic as she banged her hand on the table.

"Ummy I'm..."

"I'll advise you to shut your mouth before I shut it for you. You are the heir to the throne and I'll never allow you to marry someone from the south west. I told you several times that either someone from an Arab country or from the northern part of Nigeria. I'll never allow you to marry that dumb and crippled girl who depends on nothing but robotic legs. Come on 'A' look for someone else." She said before leaving the sitting room while her son Abdul Azeez who they called 'A', followed her.

"I can see that you've made your research on her to know that she's dumb and has no leg but don't you see anything good about her. Ummy Saniyah was someone I fell for when I first saw her and that was four years ago. I even made my istikharah countless times and since I'm ready to settle down I approached her father. Ummy she's an Hafizah, she's so religious, she's intelligent, she's beautiful and..."

"I can see that you've been charmed. A I gave birth to you so you will do as I say. Bring someone from that part or let me help you find one."

"Ummy" A groaned but Hajiya Azeemah only hissed.

"You even have the gut to send a proposal without having your Abby amd I consent. it's obvious that you've been charmed" Hajiya said before going to her room.

Abdul Azeez sat down on the couch and heave a sigh. He thought his mum will approve of it. He never knew she won't accept him because of...

"As Salam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu" The Governor of Kano State Al Ameen Jubril Abdul Aleem greeted walking into his wife sitting room.

"Wa Alaykum Salam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu Abby" Abdul Azeez answered making the governor to raised his head.

"What are you doing in my wife's chamber" He asked jokingly and Abdul Azeez just smiled.

"Thank Allah you're here. You better talk to your son and warn him. I will never tolerate him..."

"Come on Azeemah calm down and tell me what is it"

"Your son sent a proposal to a dumb and crippled girl from South west" Hajiya said and the governor smiled before shaking his head.

"May Allah forgive you Azeemah, the girl has a name. And what's wrong in what he did?"

"Wait are you aware of this?" Hajiya asked and the governor nod before sitting down.

"Ma! Ant ta'arif 'an hadha (what! You knew about this)" Hajiya yelled in Arabic making Abdul Azeez flinched. His mum only speaks in Arabic whenever she's really angry. She believed she can express her anger through her mother tongue.

"Calm down Azeemah,. I don't see nothing wrong with our son marrying someone from the south west. And it's not like the girl is deaf she can hear whatever we're saying she just can't talk. And it won't take us more than two months to learn sign language" The Governor said making Hajiya Azeemah more angry.

"You got to be kidding me" She yelled in Arabic before going into her room.
